This cable has been specially designed by PIC for airborne 10 and 100 Base-T Local Area Network applications as defined by ARINC Specification 664. The twisted-pair construction effectively reduces inductive interference while 100% foil and 90% braided shielding serve to further protect against EMI.

Each conductor is surrounded by a foamed fluoropolymer dielectric having a high velocity of propagation which permits smaller overall diameter and weight while retaining performance and required operating parameters. Silver plated high strength copper alloy conductors and shielding assure uniform conductivity with excellent solderability. A laser markable fluoropolymer jacket protects the cable against abrasion and environmental effects while maintaining flexibility for ease of installation.

Data transmission aboard aircraft faces more severe environmental and EMI situations than conventional LAN systems in commercial buildings, hence special measures have been taken to preserve technical performance.

E61224 exceeds ANSI/TIA-568-C.2 CAT 5e Channel Requirements. It is Skydrol resistant, RoHS compliant and passes the FAA flammability requirements of FAR Part 23 and 25, Appendix F. Test results are available upon request.
